***OFFICIAL OHIO STATE AT MINNESOTA SEASON OPENING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[MNVCGUY]

Looks like we have a FG kicker. Hope the amateur injury diagnosis on Mo turns out to be wrong....

 

[Section 100]

Absolutely ridiculous call.

I disagree. Play was over and our guy shoved him into a pile. It was the right call.

 

[GFBfan]

... Okay, I see what you're saying but like... how did that guy just walk off the field?

He's tough as nails and his ankle is taped up quite a bit.

 

[howeda7]

He’s an ex-NFL team doctor

Maybe so, but he's still definitevly declaring it based on watching a video. He could be right, but it's hardly 100%.

... Okay, I see what you're saying but like... how did that guy just walk off the field?

That's my hope. That type of injury should have made him far more immobile. So maybe...

 

[Boomtime]

Its nice to have a kicker...

Yep, kicking game looks strong.

Great kickoffs, too.

... Okay, I see what you're saying but like... how did that guy just walk off the field?

You can usually still plantarflex to some extent with a completely ruptured Achilles due to contraction of the flexor digitorum longus/brevis.

... Okay, I see what you're saying but like... how did that guy just walk off the field?

Yep. It's tendons, but I doubt the achilles.

I'm only partially talking out my ass.

Lets go D. Our turn to get a turnover.

 

[gopherfan007]

I wouldn't go by a "doctor" on Twitter.

This is directly from his Twitter bio, I probably would go by him, quite the credentials. But I don't know that might just be me.

 

[leib0039]

So much to like from this game and then the MO injury happens, what a bummer for the kid and the team

 

[Wally]

Love these kickoffs!

 

[scools12]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

First thing I thought when they showed this reply. Hopefully not that type of injury but it doesn’t look good.

 

[The prez sez]

Good special teams play so far for gophers

 

[U2Gopher]

Do you walk as well as Mo was if you had a ruptured Achilles??

 

[howeda7]

Mo was moving pretty good for being in a boot.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Defense just doesn’t have it.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Dagger.

Defense needs to get it together.

 

[#2Gopher]

That one hurt. Keep coming guys.

 

[Nax5]

Dang.

 

[hello-world]

That's my hope. That type of injury should have made him far more immobile. So maybe...

If that guy tore is achilleas then he has an extra one. Walking way too well.

 

[U2Gopher]

Dagger

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

The Mo news hits and then we give up a touchdown, an absolutely brutal combination.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Completely unorganized

 

[Markous15]

That's two long touchdowns where our defense didn't get set right.

 

[hello-world]

Minnesota linebackers are so bad...

 

[RolGnav]

Who is number 8? Looks slower than Faalele.

 

[#2Gopher]

Dagger.

Defense needs to get it together.

I did think the defense would be better tonight. Grant it though we're playing one of the top teams in the country.

 

[MRJ]

Ohio State is just better...it is what it is.
